Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Carrots
- 300 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots. Slice them diagonally into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellowing outer leaves. Cut the sprouts in half lengthwise.
Finely chop the garlic cloves and roughly chop the fresh mint leaves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the carrots and Brussels sprouts to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the garlic and oil.
Pour in 1 cup of water, cover the skillet, and let the vegetables steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender yet still slightly crisp.
Remove the lid, allowing any remaining water to evaporate. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Season the vegetables with salt and black pepper, tossing to combine. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve a light golden color.
Turn off the heat, stir in the fresh mint leaves, and drizzle the lemon juice on top for a bright, fresh flavor.
Transfer the dish to a serving platter and serve warm.
